I've replaced the battery on my original Macbook. After a few years it just got rubbish and that was being very careful to minimise charge cycles.
The big bonus over the air is the Retina screen, which I'd like for viewing/editing photos and having to unplug the charger to plug in my camera or phone will be frustrating and probably limit the life of the laptop. I'd want to keep it around 5 years and that just doesn't look viable.

Highly doubt it, and who actually replaces a battery? Part from some pro users that is...
I really like the idea of no connectors. All data in the cloud, backups via wifi and Time Machine, peripherals over bluetooth, printers over wifi. For a consumer machine I think it makes perfect sense.
